The fediverse is amazing!
I can’t get over how cool it is to view my posts from any server. I’m definitely going to use activitypub for my social media I’m planning on making. I was going to use @Discourse , but considering it’s like #GitLab where you are only able to self host and each instance of discourse can’t interconnect makes me kinda sad. But activitypub seems like the only way I feel happy in both ways.
Are you a bot?
Or did you accidentally misconfigure a setting somewhere?
OP isn’t a bot, I’ve seen some of their posts in the last few days. They are just happy to have joined the Fediverse
I checked their profile, hence my confusion, because their account is flagged as a bot account (which is a flag you set yourself when making the account/in profile settings).
@MentalEdge ? I’m 🤔 not sure I’m following…
@InternetIsScary@mstdn.social Yes, they are right. Check your Mastodon settings ?
The OP posted from Mastodon (check their profile) hence the hashtags.
Which is cool!
That’s not the part that had be confused. Their account literally has the “bot” badge enabled. People enable that accidentally on human user accounts sometimes.
👍 Yeah, I missed that 😐
@lemmyreader @MentalEdge I thought they were confused about me talking about server hosting or sometn related to activitypub.
Also, do most people know of this on fediverse? Jw
Hi @InternetIsScary@mstdn.social
Some people noticed earlier posts from Mastodon to Lemmy and thought it was cool. Guess it is a matter of getting used to for others 🙂
I think they were asking if you were a bot because your account has been set up as one: your profile on mstdn says ‘automated’, and if you do
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://mstdn.social/users/internetisscary | jq .then it says your ActivityPub ‘type’ field is ‘Service’ rather than ‘Person’.@andrew_s oh, yeah I see that now lol.
I left that “automated” toggle on because I plan on making a, or using my bot I made for mastodon. But the server I originally signed up with (mstdn.ca) doesn’t support API’s. So I just totally forgot about it lol.
